Government ministries and departments are undergoing a crucial third review of the Central Secretariat Stenographers Service (CSSS) staffing structure. This initiative aims to align personal staff allocations with updated entitlements for various officer ranks. While many units have already submitted their revised staffing requirements, a few are still pending. A final reminder has been issued, urging these remaining departments to promptly furnish the necessary information in a specified format via email by May 25, 2018. Failure to do so will lead to decisions being made by the Department of Personnel & Training without further consultation, under the assumption that no specific requirements exist from the non-responding units. This review is vital for optimizing the functioning of government offices by ensuring appropriate and justified deployment of stenographic services.
